At Pacific Vascular Access Care, we treat the following venous conditions:

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and Varicose Veins

Our treatments for CVI and varicose veins include:

Venous Disease Treatment
  • Sclerotherapy and Foam Sclerotherapy: A special solution is injected into the affected vein, causing it to collapse and fade. This is an effective therapy for small- to medium-sized varicose veins and spider veins. Foam sclerotherapy is an alternative to sclerotherapy for small to medium veins with large tributaries.
  • Radiofrequency Ablation: Heat, in the form of radiofrequency energy, is used to seal off the affected vein. This is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure with a short recovery time.
  • Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT): For those with medium to large veins, this treatment uses laser energy to close off the vein, which is eventually absorbed by the body and disappears.
  • Mechanochemical Ablation (MOCA): A non-thermal procedure that combines mechanical and chemical treatments to seal off a diseased vein.

Deep vein thrombosis

At Pacific Vascular Access Care, we offer the following minimally invasive treatments for blood clots associated with deep vein thrombosis:

  • Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis: A minimally invasive procedure that delivers a thrombolytic medication (clot-busing drugs) directly to the site of the clot.
  • Mechanical Thrombectomy: A minimally invasive procedure that uses a small catheter to “vacuum” the blood clot out of the deep vein. This approach is often recommended over thrombolysis when the patient has a high bleeding risk.

May-Thurner Syndrome

For patients with May-Thurner Syndrome, we offer two non-surgical approaches to treat their condition. These include:

  • Angioplasty: A catheter with a special balloon on the tip is advanced through the bloodstream to the compressed vein. The balloon is then inflated to restore normal blood flow.
  • Endovenous Stenting: A small metal “scaffold” is inserted into the left common iliac vein and opened. This treatment alleviates compression, reduces symptoms and improves blood flow.

Venous ulcers

Venous ulcers, also called venous statis ulcers, are wounds on the skin that may be treated by the doctors at Pacific Vascular Access Care. We offer minimally invasive endovascular treatments to improve blood flow and close refluxing superficial veins. This can improve blood flow, allowing venous ulcers to heal more effectively.
